Product Description
The Qualcomm QCA-9984-0-156DRQFN-TR-00-0 chipset is designed to provide reliable and high-speed wireless connectivity for various applications, leveraging advanced technologies to enhance network performance. By supporting the 802.11ac standard, it offers superior data transfer rates and network efficiency compared to earlier Wi-Fi standards, making it suitable for applications that require high bandwidth.
The dual-band functionality of the chipset enables it to operate on both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, effectively managing network load and interference. The 2.4 GHz band is beneficial for longer-range communication, while the 5 GHz band supports higher speeds and less interference for devices in closer proximity to the access point.
With 2x2 MIMO technology, the QCA-9984 can handle simultaneous data transmission and reception on two spatial streams, resulting in improved throughput and performance.
Security is a key consideration for the QCA-9984, which includes support for WPA2 encryption. This ensures that data transmitted over the network is secure and protected from unauthorized access, which is crucial for both personal and enterprise applications.
The QCA-9984’s compact 156-pin DRQFN package allows for easy integration into a variety of devices, from consumer electronics to industrial systems. Its wide operating temperature range ensures reliable performance in diverse environments, including harsh industrial settings and consumer-grade products.
